The receiver position is still one of the deepest in fantasy football, but the top portion of the rankings took a hit when A.J. Green went down again. Green aggravated his foot injury, and it looks like his season might be over. Still, our Week 14 fantasy WR rankings are deep, and there are more than enough options to plug-and-play as WR2s and WR3s from the waiver wire. So, the Green injury shouldn't have too much of an impact except in very deep leagues (14-16 teams).
The top of the WR rankings for this week sees a lot of players with high-quality matchups. Antonio Brown (@ Raiders), Davante Adams (vs. Falcons), Keenan Allen (vs. Bengals), and Michael Thomas (@ Buccaneers) all have realistic cases for being the No. 1 receiver, so anyone who owns these guys should be even happier than usual. Those great matchups can be exploited further down the line, as well, as their teammates all can qualify as WR2s (or in the case of JuJu Smith-Schuster, as a WR1).
Week 14 Rankings:
Quarterback | Running Back | Tight End | D/ST | Kicker
In the mid-tiers this week, there are a few matchups we like. Notably, Chris Godwin (vs. Saints) will have a chance to function as a high-end WR3 if DeSean Jackson continues to miss time. Other good matchups include D.J. Moore (@ Browns), Mike Williams (vs. Bengals), Courtland Sutton (@ 49ers), and even Zay Jones (vs. Jets). There really is plenty of depth, so that will create some difficult start/sit decisions for the first week of the fantasy playoffs.

WEEK 14 PPR RANKINGS: Running back | Wide receiver | Tight end
Week 14 Fantasy Football Rankings: WRs
These rankings are for standard, non-PPR leagues
| 1 | Antonio Brown, Steelers @ Raiders |
| 2 | Davante Adams, Packers vs. Falcons |
| 3 | Keenan Allen, Chargers vs. Bengals |
| 4 | Michael Thomas, Saints @ Buccaneers |
| 5 | Mike Evans, Buccaneers vs. Saints |
| 6 | Julio Jones, Falcons @ Packers |
| 7 | Amari Cooper, Cowboys vs. Eagles. The Eagles secondary is still very banged up, and Cooper has logged back-to-back games with at least eight catches. He can continue to be trusted as a high-volume receiver with big-play upside. |
| 8 | Odell Beckham Jr., Giants @ Redskins |

| 9 | DeAndre Hopkins, Texans vs. Colts |
| 10 | Adam Thielen, Vikings @ Seahawks |
| 11 | JuJu Smith-Schuster, Steelers @ Raiders. Smith-Schuster is averaging 12 targets per game in the past three outings, and he gets to take on a Raiders defense that has allowed 17 TDs to WRs this year, which is tied for fourth most in the NFL. He should have a nice outing in a game that the Steelers really need to win. |
| 12 | Tyreek Hill, Chiefs vs. Ravens. After two consecutive two-TD games, Hill put up a dud last week against the Raiders, accounting for just 5.0 fantasy points. Since the bye week, the Ravens haven't allowed a receiver to score double-digit fantasy points, so Hill could have a tougher time this week. Still, his big-play ability makes him a borderline WR1, as all it takes is one deep TD to have him pay off. |
| 13 | Brandin Cooks, Rams @ Bears |
| 14 | Tyler Boyd, Bengals @ Chargers. In the wake of A.J. Green's latest injury, Tyler Boyd will likely be the No. 1 receiver for the Bengals once again. The Chargers have been very good against receivers this year, but if the Bengals get opportunities in garbage time, that could open up some more chance for Boyd to rack up yards and get a score. |
| 15 | Kenny Golladay, Lions @ Cardinals. Over the past month, Golladay has averaged 11 targets per game and has found the end zone twice for the Lions. The Cardinals just limited the Packers' passing offense and the Cardinals do have Patrick Peterson, but Golladay should still see targets and be given a chance to produce like Davante Adams was able to last week. |
| 16 | Allen Robinson, Bears vs. Rams |
